steam generator

[Mike K]

That is in amazing condition, look as if it has never been used . I have heard of one or two of them in collectors hands here .

A interesting book to read if you are into covert operations is The Jungle is Neutral by F Spencer Chapman . He wrote about these steam generators in use in Malaya . He spent much of his war living with the Chinese communist fighters in Malaya . He was one of the UK group who helped set up the commando school at Wilsons Prom. here in Victoria . After the school, he was sent up to Malaya , arriving just before the Japanese invasion . He took to the jungle and lived the whole occupation as a guerilla fighter. It was only near the wars end, his group of survivors made contact with the outside world and they managed to arrange drops of equipment , the radio sets and steam generators he mentions .
